2008 Pit 1 Releases (CA)
The Pit 1 reach of the Pit River, from Fall River Mills to highway 299, will have releases again this summer. Many people got on this run for the first time two years ago and found it to be a great class III/ IV run. This years releases will be for one weekend in June, July and August. This year's dates are:
- June 21 - 22
- July 19 - 20
- August 16 - 17
Put-in
If you choose to put-in at Big Eddy Estates, please be advised that this road crosses a private
easement and we all need to be on our best behavior driving down this road and at the
put-in. Aside from the obvious, this means bringing the fewest number of cars possible to
the put-in. We expect these releases to be very popular and we want to avoid having large
numbers of cars at the put-in.
American Whitewater is working with PG&E to develop an additional put-in location a short
ways up stream from Big Eddy. In addition to providing access to the whitewater run, this
location will also provide a great flat-water paddling opportunity. Releases on the Pit,
the Feather and the Mokelumne are happening because of American Whitewater's hard work in
California over the past ten years. If you are supporting our efforts we thank you!
If you are not, you need to! Join
